Grab the top of the bag from each side and give a quick little pull. That should stretch the opening up enough to separate it-A vegetable vendor told me that trick!

What are the most efficient ways to open a box of corn flakes? Sometimes it just seems to take forever.


Sorry forgot smiley.

Buy a plastic Tupperware type box, cut the cereal bag with scissors, and pour the cereal into the box. It will keep the cereal fresher.

My fingers go where ever I go, so not a problem for me.
Where do yours go when they are not with you?

I've always watched people wad them up in the palm of their hand and roll them around like a rag, and they seem to pop right open ! I'm a fan of taking reusable bags with me, or at least using the plastic grocery ones twice, take a couple in your pocket when you come back next time just to use for the produce. Much better anywy.... if you've ever tried to put 4-6 ears of fresh corn into one of those flimsy produce bags, you already know what I mean... lol.

LOVE the new little mini bag "reminders" Publix is giving out with their new free resuable bags ! However, I have little confidence in this habit ever catching on in our country ! ?

Default Opening plastic bags in the veggie dept.

[Hold the bag close to your mouth, take a deep breathe and blow out of your mouth.
This makes the end damp and opens easily. May take a second try.

Really. Instructions are on the bags. Find some 12 year old to help you or bring your own bags. PS: people on the Titanic are still waiting for room service order
